Rawalpindi:
Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) Foundation Chairman Imran Khan has described Khyber Pakhtunkhwa miner and minerals Bill as “controversial” and instructed the party’s legal committee and senior KP leadership to map him on the legislation, according to PTI lawyer Faisal Chaudhry.
Chaudhry talked to journalists after meeting the imprisoned PTI -Supremo in the Adiala prison, and said IMRAN had raised concerns about the bill and emphasized the need to take the public in confidence.
“This bill has now become controversial. It is important that people be made aware of its consequences,” he said.
Chaudhry added that Imran emphasized the critical need for both establishment and PTI to manage Pakistan out of the crisis. “The military alone cannot unite the country; only political forces can,” he said.
Chaudhry was among four lawyers along with Usman Riaz Yellow, Faisal Malik and Muhammad Afzal, who were allowed to meet the PTI commander.
He revealed that only two people on the official meeting list gained access to prison, while the rest, including senior lawyers and party leaders, were stopped at police checkpoints.
He said that legal briefings were given to the PTI founder of Usman Yellow and Faisal Malik, especially about cases that were not performed in court and about alleged abuse of Bushra Bibi.
Imran also discussed recent political development and called on the party to write to Chief Justice regarding legal concerns after the 26th change.
With regard to foreign policy, especially Afghanistan, the PTI chief repeated that his administration had long advocated dialogue with the Afghan government to counter terrorism.
Meanwhile, tensions outside the Adiala prison, when the PTI founder’s family, including his sisters Aleema Khan, dr. Uzma Khan and Noreen Khan were denied a meeting despite waiting for hours.
